Learn to Prevent Fire Damage in the Kitchen

Author: The Handyman Guy

The kitchen turns out to be one of the most dangerous rooms in your home due to the fact that it contains many risks and a high potential for accidental fire.

Some of the difficultys come when you’re using frying pans and deep fry pans. If you use a thermostat controlled fryer this is a fabulous way to impede fires.

Be cautious about fat and grease build ups on the stove because they can easily go up in flames.

The second problem is about heater and oven. The oven and the range need to be cleaned in a regular manner to prevent grease & food from catching a fire.

Be aware of when you cook to place handles to be away from the edge of the heater. You must also not wear long sleeves that will dangle from the heater and take fire.

Look when the heater is on and not just don’t fail to remember to turn it off. Combustible fabrics like towels must be away from the gas or the electric range.

You must be cautious with combustible liquids like cleaning materials. Also look at the appliances.

The best rule is to use tools that have been tested and approved by a testing facility.

Be cautious not to overload electrical outlets & not just check for worn or broken wings regularly.

If there are any imperfections make sure that they are repaired. It’s important to keep tools cords on the counter to impede them from being incidentally being pulled.

Look at the microwave ovens. An error is warmed that items heated in the microwave oven aren’t as heated as the ones in the ordinary heater.

But you must know that even if the container does not heat the content heats.

Verify that all the vents are cleared of obstructions & there is sufficient air circulation around the microwave oven. Remember not at any time to pot aluminum foil in the microwave heater.

    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If there is a terra cotta clay flue liner, does it protrude out of
    the top of the chimney at least 2 inches? If there are at least 2
    inches and the terra cotta clay is in good condition, you will use
    our stainless steel, terra cotta top plate that has a 1 1⁄2inch edge
    that goes all the way around (like a shoebox lid).

    *If your terra cotta clay flue is in bad shape at the top, you may
    need to just take a hammer and tap all around that terra cotta,
    taking it away to make the surface flat at the top of your chimney.
    In that case, you will simply use the flat top plate that comes with
    our liner kit.



    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If it is on the back of the stove, is it parallel with the back of the stove or is it at an angle, like 45 degrees?

    *If it is at an angle you will use an insert stove adaptor (an insert liner kit) rather than a two-part tee with cleanout cap.


    Usually pellet stoves have an exhaust hole id of 3 inches. However, if you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney you need to use a pipe and/or flex liner that is 4 inches diameter.





    If you are only venting a hot water heater then the exhaust hole diameter is probably 3 inch diameter. If it is 3 inch diameter and you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney, you must use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe for proper draft. We also suggest to go ahead and use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe even if the total length is 15 feet or less.


    Not the depth or any other dimension inside your fireplace.

    Most gas log fireplaces require an 8 inch liner kit or rigid kit. But do not assume that is the case for the gas log fireplace kit you are installing. Obey the requirements for that specific unit that are in your installation/instruction manual.
